Re: Concerning future of First Saturdays & Second Sundays.
Niantic did have a joined up day, where all the events for Pikmin Bloom/Ingress/Pokémon GO happened on the same weekend, so I thought they would add an Ingress Community Day but they seem to have abandoned their “Niantic Community Day”
as there’s no events page accessible here and even when you look it is not updated.
I think we could have it as an additional event, not as a First Saturday replacement. Especially now that you could be assigned special Bounties during it. Some months end up very sparse Ingress wise, where after FS & SS, that’s kind of it, whilst other Niantic games are doing something most days to keep their player base engaged.
I added ideas here on what a Community Day could be for Ingress.
Re: Player Age Requirements - Win Trading - Playing for Green with a Blue Account - How to report this?
niantic don't care. here there's one agent there one with 7 "children" making towns full l8 by himself.
Re: Concerning future of First Saturdays & Second Sundays.
Agent Day!!!
I do like the enjoy idea of FS, tho sadly in my community, there isn't much keen agents to join...
Re: Player Age Requirements - Win Trading - Playing for Green with a Blue Account - How to report this?
Multiaccounting/accsharing is quite too difficult to be resulted. Sad but true. The same about age (Nia can't see who's holding phone). Even using account with almost the same nickname (eg <<green"Agentname">> or <<blue"Agentname">>) is not uaually a case to Nia.
Player Age Requirements - Win Trading - Playing for Green with a Blue Account - How to report this?
So I asked this question some time ago and the response on the win trading question was pretty much - "eh, nothing you can do about that..."
I did neglect to mention that the agent with the blue account who was helping out the green team by taking down green blockers for her parents was three-years-old.
Which came up in another discussion today. It is against the TOS for agents under the age of 13 to actually play Ingress.
I know there are a lot of agents who regularly ignore this rule and it's not at all inforced, but I thought it might be interesting to revisit the discussion.
What recourse is there when a group of local agents claims their three-year-old wanted to play for the other team so they let her and they then start using her to clear for them and win trade with her?
Also - the father in this lovely family has been caught on multiple occasions alone in his vehicle seconds after other members of his family deployed on portals with him. So there's also a great degree of likelihood that the three-year-old isn't really playing, the dad is.
Re: Extra key capsules
More than a response about your topic (with which I completely agree), I am hoping that someone from niantic will actually respond on the forums.
[Improvements] Cell Battles: Gigafields and announcement lead time
Granted that some cell battles were balanced... There were a few which skewed hard due to large fields well outside the cell which was chosen. While highly effective, this doesn't feel true to the nature of what a cell battle is meant to reflect.
It would be nice if in the future, cell battles were contained within the cells selected, or only allow portals outside a certain distance from the border. Much like how you can't field over an anomaly to "ruin" it for others, these large fielding ops which completely cover the cell from locations nowhere nearby seem to cause some pretty lopsided results.
All in all, our cell battle was pretty evenly matched and strategy won the day. This was the closest thing I've had to what would be considered "old school" play so I appreciate the event. I think it would be better if you gave a month notice and limited the battle to a special 3-day weekend, allowing your 9-5 workers the ability to request time off or travel if needed.
Re: Account suspended next day installation but couldn't get any supportive information from Niantic
If you're found making abusive nominations or edits in any game, your Niantic account is suspended (or lost) in all games. So if your PokeMonGo account was dinged for bad nominating - it would affect your Ingress account, even if it's not high enough to nominate.
The Wayfarer strikes are usually temporary. But if you delete ANY Niantic account - your Wayfarer account is permanently deleted as well. (This was considered a bug for years, until Niantic finally reclassified it as "Working as intended".) I suggest leaving your account undeleted - you never know what the future holds.
Also, Niantic doesn't allow jailbreak phones. Or apps that can be used to spoof your location.
Re: Extra key capsules
Any possible way of holding and therefore keeping more keys is very welcome. Saves alot of time and stress, especially for any events
Re: UI request: Change location of Bounty Button
The animation also happens on the main screen even after the bounty is claimable; We only need to see it once.
But I'd prefer it not be on the main screen at all, since it is in the menu screen and gets in the way of normal play interface.
Or at least remove the button on the main screen once the bounty is claimed.
